Avoid Vacation Fat Traps

July 16th, 2011

Does your upcoming vacation have you worried about your waistline? You should be. OK, it’s not your honeymoon yet, but you still want to look your best, right?

The average person gains almost a pound a day while on vacation.

But that doesn’t have to be you. Most of the time extra pounds sneak up on you when you least expect it, so decide right here and now that your vacation will leave you slimmer than when you left.

Just like I tell you for your bridal fitness journey, all you have to do is have a plan.

As you embark on your next vacation adventure, use these 7 tips to come home fitter than when you left.

Trick #1: Cut Your Carbs
Vacation days are notorious for carbohydrate rich meals, and it’s a well-known fact that too many carbohydrates will quickly add up to unwanted pounds. Combat this fat-trap by choosing one meal per day to go carb-less.

Breakfast: This may be the most effective meal to use the carb-less trick, since breakfast often involves breads, pastries or pancakes. Skip the toast and fill up on egg whites and lean breakfast meats.
Lunch: A great carb-less lunch is a salad with lean meat. It’s so filling and satisfying that you won’t even miss the bread.
Dinner: Since you’re on vacation, you don’t want to feel deprived, so dinner is the hardest meal to go carb-less. But if you’ve indulged at breakfast and lunch then make it a point to cut the carbs at dinner. Stick with veggies and lean meats.

Trick #2: Be Active
If your travels keep you too busy for a workout, or if your hotel does not have an exercise room, make a conscious effort to be active everyday. Of course, I’m going to suggest you take my Bridalicious Boot Camp DVDs with you and you can work out in your hotel room.

But if this is not an option, go on a brisk walk after your day’s activities. This is a great way to see a new city, and also a great way to burn off extra calories. Take the stairs instead of elevator in your hotel and any other buildings you visit. Go on a short jog in the mornings or evenings of your stay. If your hotel has a pool, swim a few laps each morning or evening.

Trick #3: Indulge with Control
Eating out is a must while on vacation. Whether you’re visiting 5 star restaurants or the local Subway, you are faced with the same problem: large portions. While the easiest thing to do with a large portioned meal is to simply eat it all – you are on vacation after all…right? – that isn’t the best for your waist.

When you order your meal ask the waiter or waitress to bring you a to-go box. Take half of your meal and place it safely into the box before you even begin to eat. This gives you no choice but to eat a healthy portion. If you would rather not carry around a to-go box then ask that your entrée be made into a smaller portion. If it is dinner time ask for the lunch-sized entrée.

Trick #4: Don’t Eat Late
One of the easiest tricks for preventing weight loss is to simply stop eating 3 hours before you go to bed. This is especially effective while on vacation. So skip that late night indulgence and wake up looking and feeling great.

Trick #5: Snack Healthy
Have you ever noticed how travel days create the perfect opportunity for snacking? A coffee and muffin before your flight, a snack on the plane and then before you know it – it’s lunch time! Taking a road trip? This opens up even more opportunities for regrettable snacking…rest stop vending machines, gas station quickie marts and of course the never ending string of fast food restaurants along the highway.

This summer cut unhealthy snacking off at the pass by bringing along your own healthy options. Fresh fruit, unsalted nuts, protein bars, cut veggies and low fat, whole grain crackers are a good start. By filling up on these healthy snacks between meals you will end up eating less when presented with a less-than-healthy meal.

Trick #6: Avoid Fried Foods
While fast food restaurants are definitely convenient, with their low prices and quick service, this convenience is not worth the additional pounds brought on by chips and fries. As you enjoy your vacation keep this in mind: avoid fried foods. While this is always good advice to follow, it is even more important to abide by while traveling.

While vacationing you will likely burn fewer calories each day than you would burn at home, and you are consuming more calories due to your schedule of eating out. You are walking a fine line, and eating fried foods would throw you right over the edge. A gram of fat contains 9 calories as compared to the 4 calories that proteins and carbohydrates carry – so you can see that consuming fried foods will drastically increase your caloric intake.

If I still haven’t convinced you to pass on the curly fries, keep in mind that heartburn and indigestion are never fun…especially while on vacation!

7 simple ways to cut 250 calories

April 27th, 2011

Bridalicious Boot Campers burning calories, having fun!

How would you like to be 5, 10 or 20 pounds lighter in a matter of weeks or a few months from now?

Can you image the look on the face of your seamstress at your next dress fitting? She would wonder how you became the incredible shrinking bride.

It’s actually much easier than you think.

I’m not talking about invasive, costly surgery, dangerous pills or potions, or grueling routines.

All it takes is losing one pound each week. One measly pound.

Hang with me for a minute and I will break it down mathematically. A pound is 3,500 calories—spread that over 7 days and you need a 500 calorie deficit of “calories in” versus “calories out”each day to lose 1 pound in a week.

Your 500 calorie deficit can be done by a combination of increased calorie exertion (exercise) as well as a decrease in calories consumed (eating less). Well, there are lots of ways to burn calories and shed body fat, and you don’t have to concentrate on all 500 at once. So to get you started, here are 7 simple ways to cut 250 calories:

Wake up, it’s your wedding! A jolt of caffeine in the morning is no big deal, but choose plain coffee instead of a sweetened Super Moca Latte Grande thingy. Flavored coffee drinks are delicious but filled with way-way too much sugar. Drop 250 calories (or more) when you stick with plain coffee or tea instead of syrupy mega-sugar-filled coffee drinks.

Just say NO! to the office treats. A single slice of your co-worker’s birthday cake may seem innocent enough, besides everyone is eating them at the office meeting, why shouldn’t you? You know that cake is are packed with fat and calories. For each tempting treat that you refuse to eat, imagine the 250 calories falling off of your waistline, and smile to yourself.

These kicks are made for… jogging. Jog for 30 minutes. Want in on a little secret? The hardest part about a simple 30 minute jog is the act of getting your shoes on and walking out the door. It’s true. You might even try to grab your fiance for some quality time and a great evening chill out from a long day at work or school.

Hit “delete” on the soda. Exchange 20 oz of regular soda for water. You know that soda is filled with tons of sugar, so why are you still drinking it? Every time you crave an ice cold cola, picture swallowing spoonfuls of white sugar and then think about when your next dress fitting will be. Stick with water or green tea and kiss those extra calories goodbye.

Lap it up. Swim laps for 30 minutes. If your response to my jogging suggestion was ‘I have bad knees’, or I just plain hate running, then you’re in luck. Swimming is one of the best activities you can do, and it is impact-free. When you swim you recruit your entire body, a process which requires lots of energy—AKA calories.

An apple a day keeps the cookie away. Eat an apple instead of a cookie. Do you always go for something sweet after dinner? While your first instinct may be to reach for a cookie or a bowl of ice cream, why not consider what nature has to offer? Fruit is sweet, natural and lower in calories than traditional desserts.

250 calories? How about 700 or more (way more)? Try one of my Bridalicious Boot Camp workouts on DVD. I have the whole calorie-burning equation down to a science, and I’d love nothing more than to help you achieve your wedding day fitness goals. My workouts have been known to burn up to 1000 calories at a time, so what are you waiting for? Your wedding will be here before you know it.

11 Reasons to Exercise Before Your Nuptials

April 3rd, 2011

11 Reasons To Exercise Before Your Nuptials

Let’s face it, wedding or no wedding, some days you just don’t feel like exercising.

You get too busy with work, calling wedding vendors, planning showers and more. You’re just too stressed and quite simply too tired at times.

Here’s a list of 9 of the top reasons to exercise. Pull out this list and read it when you’re having one of those days.

My wedding photos and video will be around for generations to come. Have you ever looked at your mom and dad’s wedding pics? What about grandma? Yep, your wedding photos never go away. They are passed down for generations. In fact, my father has his great-grandmother’s wedding photos hanging in his office. Bottom line is, you’ll never have a day captured with more photos and video than your wedding, plus you’re paying a professional photographer a lot of money. Don’t you want to make it worth it?

I want to look great for my out-of-town relatives and friends who haven’t seen me in years. I bet you have relatives who haven’t seen you since your grade school days, and friends who haven’t visited you in person since high school. Don’t you want to blow them away? They’ll go back home after your wedding and everyone will ask her – “how did she look?” You want the answer to be, OMG, drop dead gorgeous!

I only get one chance to make a first impression on my fiancé’s friends and relatives who have never met me. Take this from me, your humble trainer. I’m a fairly typical guy, and I’ve attended lots and lots of weddings. Your fiancé’s friends who have never seen you before the big day will be thinking, hmmm, looks like Jake snagged a hot one. She’s not only sweet, she’s beautiful — lucky guy.

I will be wearing a one-of-a-kind, fabulous wedding dress, and I only get one chance to look stunning in it … this is my “Oscar moment.” How many years have you dreamed about your wedding day? You probably had this image in your head of the perfect dress, and now it’s real! You found it, paid a lot of money for it, so make the most of this chance to blow everyone away (including yourself). This is your “Oscar moment” after all.

I will truly realize my fantasy of being that perfect bride I dreamed of being since I was a little girl. Back to that little girl, sitting in her room and dreaming of the day you walk down the aisle to exchange vows with your true love. The fantasy is about to become a reality, so seize the day by looking like the princess that you are.

We’re making a huge financial commitment to the venue, the food, the flowers, the photographer, the dress, the band . . . what about me? I am, after all, the guest of honor on this special day. Even if you have the most unbelievable venue with the most gorgeous flowers, exquisite decor, mouthwatering gourmet food from a top caterer — none of that will be nearly as rewarding if you don’t feel absolutely confident in your dress. In my view, it’s the most important piece of the making your fantasy wedding experience come true.

My wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime window of opportunity to be super-motivated to exercise, plus there is an “etched in stone” end point to achieve my goal by my big day. It always feels so good when you work hard, stay focused and achieve a challenging and worthwhile goal. Your wedding gives you that added incentive and motivation to reach a level of health and fitness (and hotness!) that you’ve never reached in your life.

I want to look hot on my honeymoon. Are you and your man heading to the beach, taking a cruise, and preparing for the most memorable trip of your lives? Break out the swimsuit with excitement and eager anticipation. No worrying about those “trouble” spots. You have a chance to be more fit, tight and toned than ever.

Have more energy to get through your long “to-do” list. Anyone who exercises regularly will tell you that they are more energetic, less easily irritated and are more peaceful.

You will sleep better, even with so much wedding stuff on your mind and be more mentally sharp. Anyone who exercises regularly will tell you that they are more energetic, less easily irritated and are more peaceful. Exercise has been shown to improve memory and other cognitive functions, and seems to have a protective effect against dementia. A Harvard University researcher called exercise “Miracle-Gro for the brain.”

I can achieve a very worthwhile goal that I can build upon for the rest of my life! One of the most satisfying things about what I do are the lives I have an impact upon from a healthy lifestyle point of view. It’s extremely common for a bride to tell me she never worked out much (or at all) until her wedding got her mind in the right place. Your bridal fitness journey will likely cause you to keep up a fit, strong and healthy lifestyle for years and years after the wedding!

Regular exercise gives you so many amazing benefits related to your wedding and to your life in general. So get that body moving in the right direction. Your destiny is in your hands. Don’t let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be super motivated by an exciting deadline pass you by without extraordinary results to show for it.

7 Fat Loss Secrets Revealed

March 28th, 2011

7 Fat Loss Secrets Revealed

I have brides all the time who have successfully lost weight, tightened and toned with my program, but they are a “victim” of their own success.

What I mean is, they workout hard, eat the right foods, and look totally awesome, but still have some time before the wedding and don’t want to gain it back.

If you’ve ever lost weight, you know how hard it is to keep it off. Besides, just because you look incredible when you walk down the aisle and in your honeymoon swimsuit, doesn’t mean you plan on gaining it back.

Ever wonder why some people are able to keep weight off, while others put it right back on? Read on for the 7 Secrets to Maintain Weight Loss. (And if you still have pounds to lose, these 7 secrets will help you too.)

Secret #1: Keep on Moving
If you’re serious about keeping the weight off, you need to be serious about your workouts. Keep your activity level high, both in and out of the gym, health club, or with your at home workouts. Your workouts should consist of both interval card training and resistance training. When not exercising, make an effort to move as much as possible by taking the stairs, going for walks or jogs and participating in recreational activities.

Secret #2: Be a Healthy Eater
Sorry, you can’t go back to grabbing $99 tacos or that five buck value meal at the drive thru and expect to maintain your weight loss. Instead, focus on these 3 aspects of healthy eating:

Keep calories low. Gone are the days of eating mindlessly. Be aware of everything that goes into your mouth, whether by journaling or simply keeping a mental tally. This includes “hidden calories” like the “two bites of birthday cake” at the office party.
Be careful. Eat small portions, avoid high-calorie foods and check nutrition labels. You don’t have to swear off chocolate forever, just eat it occasionally with portion control.
Eat a balanced diet. Include a variety of fruits and vegetables, lean meats and whole grains.

Secret #3: Turn off the TV

The average person watches a whopping 35 hours of television each week. Cut back on watching Twilight and The Bachelor and find stimulating things to do with your fiance. This helps strengthen your relationship and keeps you from being sedentary on the sofa.

People who successfully maintain weight loss, watch an average of just 7 hours or less of television. TV watching encourages snacking and jeopardizes your wedding day fitness goals.

Secret #4: Keep it Simple
While it is important to keep a variety of fruits and vegetables in your diet, your diet should be fairly simple. Create a repertoire of basic whole foods: fruits, vegetables, lean meats, whole grains, beans and nuts. When you cut down on your options it becomes easier to stick to your plan, making weight loss guaranteed.

Secret #5: Track Yourself
Your biggest fear is gaining back every solitary lost pound, but don’t be afraid of your scale. Weigh yourself at least once each week to monitor any gains. If the numbers begin to climb then reduce calories and increase your exercise.

Secret #6: Eat for the Right Reason
Emotional eating is one of the top reasons that people are overweight. It’s very important that you view food as fuel, not as an answer to deeper emotional needs. When food becomes more than just fuel, the pounds quickly add up. If you want to keep your weight under control, you’re going to have to eliminate emotional eating.

Secret #7: Forget All-Or-Nothing
No one is perfect – not even you! There will be days when you eat more calories than you should have. There will also be days when you miss a workout. Don’t let small slip-ups send you into a tailspin of all-or-nothing sabotage. Simply get back to your healthy lifestyle rather than letting yourself backslide into your old habits.

Don’t be one of the many who skip these 7 secrets and instead return to life pre-weight loss. You worked hard to be where you are – you deserve to keep it.

Speed Up Your Slow Metabolism

February 22nd, 2011

What a faster metabolism can do for your body.

Your wedding gets closer every day, and although that’s totally exciting, it also creates a sense of urgency. One of the great things about being a bride is the motivation you have to get in the best shape of your life, and fast1 And with that uncommon motivation comes the desire to find out about things that you have wondered about for years, but never really took the time to investigate.

For example, you hear talk all the time about metabolism. But what exactly is metabolism, why is it important to your body, and what can you do to increase your metabolism? Well, beautiful bride, I’m about to tell ya!

What Is Metabolism?

Inside your body, a complex process is going on that involves hormones, enzymes, and food. Known as metabolism, this process is responsible for your body’s ability to take food and turn it into energy. Additionally, your metabolism determines if you take that energy and burn it off with ease or if it sits around on your body and goes nowhere fast.

Though you probably wish your metabolism was sky high (everyone wants that sleek body – right?), there are a number of factors you can’t change that determine the level of your metabolism. These include age, sex, and your genes. For instance, those who are over 40 have a slower metabolism, as does being a woman or having a family history of slow metabolism.

Why Is It Important?

Ever wondered why the first few pounds of weight loss come so easily for some people? It’s because your body has to work a little harder when you’re overweight. So when you make a small lifestyle change, your high metabolism does the rest, helping shed pounds with ease. Unfortunately, keeping a high metabolism isn’t after you’ve lost the initial few pounds. But if you want to lose weight and keep it off, you’ll need to have your metabolism working for you.

How Can I Boost It?

While there are a handful of factors that limit your ability to increase or decrease your metabolism, you can take your low metabolism by the horns and give it a boost with the right steps. Since you know that muscle burns more calories than fat, you probably already guessed the first step to speeding up your slow metabolism.

Get more muscles. A little flab here and there won’t make a huge difference, but muscle burns energy faster than flab. So if you want the highest possible metabolism, you’ll need to increase your muscle mass. Do this by exercising on a regular basis (three days a week at the least), and be sure to mix in plenty of weight lifting with your running, bicycling, and swimming.

Get five meals. Eating three times a day may be how you did things growing up, but unless you want to grow out, you’ve got to eat up more often. By substituting three large meals for five or more small meals throughout the day, you give your body confidence that there will be plenty of food coming later. This confidence allows your body to burn off more calories all day long.

Get good foods. Eating five or six times a day will have the greatest impact on your metabolism if you’re filling up on the right stuff. That means tossing the extra slice of cake in the trash and going for a handful of carrots instead. Or grab some oatmeal for a fill up that will provide a slow-burning boost to your metabolic low.

Breakfast: The Crux of Metabolism

Think you can have a high metabolism without ever chowing down on breakfast foods? You’re wrong. Without eating breakfast, you put yourself at risk for slowed metabolism.

Here are a few ways skipping breakfast will do the body bad.

It makes you hungrier at lunch and other times than you should be. When this happens, you don’t make good choices – and you know it!
It gives you nothing to start with. When your stomach is empty, your body is doing everything possible to hang onto the calories at its disposal. Hence why you have no energy without breakfast!
It starts you off all wrong. Start your day with a poor dietary decision, and you’re sure to make more of them throughout the day.

It’s Cold Outside

January 12th, 2011

Should you get moving when the weather outside is frightening?

There are very few weddings in January, and one of those reasons might be the cold weather. But, lucky for me, January-March are also the ideal months for brides to workout in preparation for a April, May, June (or beyond) wedding. Heck, wedding season might be considered Spring, Summer and early Fall, but bridal workouts, bridal diets and “I’m gonna look awesome in my gown” season is 365 days a year for the most part.

When the weather outside starts to get cold and foreboding, you may be tempted to stay inside by the fire with a warm cup of tea, snuggle with your fiance, and put some comfort food in your lap. However, you should know that heading out the door for some cold-weather workouts will reap great rewards if you take care to stay warm and safe.

Read on to learn how to pump up when the wind is biting and your nose is bright red.

Dress Right.

Running and playing in the cold requires you to be very thoughtful about your wardrobe. Obviously, you can’t take off in a t-shirt and shorts. Instead, you’ll want to wear layers of clothing. As you begin to sweat, remove a layer to keep your sweat from causing you to get cold later. Then put your outermost layers back on when you begin to grow cold. For best warmth, the layer against your body should be polypropylene or another synthetic material, followed by fleece and then something waterproof and breathable on top.

In addition to staying warm, you should remember to stay safe. As it is often darker during the cold months, take precaution to remain visible to oncoming traffic. Wearing clothing with reflective surfaces will help others see you, even from a distance. You should also make sure your shoes have good enough traction to keep you on your feet as you run across various surfaces. And if you’re participating in skiing, snowboarding, or other winter sports, wear appropriate safety gear to avoid hurting your head, knees, and other body parts.

Work the Wind.

Blowing, freezing wind is one of the hardest parts to overcome if you’re trying to force yourself to work out in the cold. Keep the wind beneath your wings by facing the blowing breeze during the beginning of your run or bicycle ride. This way, you’ll be running with the wind on your way back home, making the return trip much more pleasant and making you more likely to want to do it again the next day.

Think Hot.

While you’ll need to plan your wardrobe and your wind sprints with the weather in mind, you’ll need to change your mindset to a warmer climate to ensure your overall good health during a winter workout. Wearing sunscreen in the cold may seem senseless, but the sun still has the power to burn your exposed skin during the winter. Actually, you may be at increased risk for sunburn if you’re working out at a high altitude or in an area with a lot of snow. So be sure to lather up before you head out for your cold routine.

You’ll also need to think hot weather with regards to your hydration. Becoming dehydrated may seem to be a concern only valid during the hot summer months, but you need plenty of liquids in your system year round to keep your system well watered. To avoid dehydration, drink plenty of water before, during, and after your workout – even if you don’t feel thirsty yet. Because once you feel thirsty, your body is already dehydrated.

Get Back In

For the most part, you can exercise in the cold and reap only benefits from your routine. Sometimes, however, exercising in the cold isn’t a good idea. If you exercise outside when you shouldn’t, the results can be bone-chillingly bad. When should you get back inside? The following are signs that you need to get inside and stay there:

The temperature is below 0 degrees Fahrenheit (or –17.8 degrees Celsius). At these temperatures, you’re at risk for lowering your body temperature, which can have horrid results.
You experience frostbite or hypothermia. The initial signs of frostbite include numbness, loss of feeling, paleness, or stinging in the fingers, face, and toes. Hypothermia is recognized by unstoppable shivering, fatigue, loss of coordination, and slurred speech. If these symptoms are present, seek emergency medical attention immediately.

2011 Fitness Predictions

January 3rd, 2011

It's a Great Year To Get Hitched!

Happy New Year! January is an exciting time – you have a clean slate to become who you want and accomplish what you want in the year ahead. And with not only a brand-spanking fresh start at your disposal, you’ve also got an unbelievable wedding to look forward to with wild anticipation – woo-hoo!

In the world of fitness, this time of year means tons of new faces and lives being changed. New Year’s magically pulls people to exercise – maybe you’re feeling the pull yourself. I mean after all, you’ve got the double super exciting whammy of the normal motivation along with wedding inspiration!

Here are 5 predictions I’d like to present you for the year ahead:

1. 2011 is the year that many will lose weight and regain their health. Times are changing. People are realizing that obesity has gotten out of hand, and exercise is back in the spotlight.

The real food movement is taking the globe by storm as people turn away from fast and processed foods and return to wholesome, nutritious meals.

2011 will be the year that many people adopt a healthier lifestyle and drop the extra weight. Maybe even you.

2. 92% of all New Year’s Resolutions will end in failure.While millions will start gung ho in January with lofty goals for massive weight loss, the reality is that most will fail. Here’s why:

They bite off more than they can chew.

In all the excitement of becoming a better person and transforming their life in the New Year, they make the crucial mistake of committing too much. But reality soon sets in and they give up.

Want to be apart of the 8% who will achieve their resolutions? (You can’t, you’ve gotta be the hottest. bride. ever.)

Then set realistic goals.

Instead of resolving to lose 30 pounds by April, commit to exercise 3-4 times each week.
Instead of resolving to give up all carbs, commit to bring healthy snacks to work instead eating from the vending machine.
Instead of resolving to drop 3 wedding dress sizes in 3 months, commit to losing 1 pound each week until you reach your desired size.
Instead of resolving to never eat out again, commit to eating healthy all week and reward yourself with one meal out on the weekends (and see if you can get your fiance to join you in this commitment).

Remember that the whole point of making a New Year’s Resolution is to become a healthier, happier, successful person, and this year in particular, you also resolve to become a stunningly gorgeous and confident bride. Small changes done consistently will make a big difference.

3. I will help boatloads of new clients drop hundreds of unwanted pounds in 2011. At this time every year I am flooded with new, motivated clients (brides and non-brides) who are ready to change their lives. Starting in January and right through December, I will see these amazing people face their fears, dig in with determination and accomplish great things.

That’s why I love what I do so much. I get goose bumps when I see the wedding photos of my beautiful boot camp brides on the big day!

Hundreds upon hundreds of pounds will be lost under my watch this year.

4. Every single new client that sticks with my program in 2011 will lose the weight. There are no maybes when it comes to me and weight loss. It’s what I do, and I do it well.

When a new client comes in to share their goals, I put together a plan to make those goals a reality. Sure, you have to follow the plan, show up for workouts and change how you eat.

And the results are all yours.

5. When you join my program your success is guaranteed. You will no longer be among the 92% who will let go of their fitness goal around January 20th. You’ll be in an elite group who put their money where their mouth is.

My boot campers meet their goals – the only question for you is what are you waiting for?

I predict that 2011 will be an amazing year. Come prove me right

Email today to get a jumpstart on your best year yet.

And remember what I always say: “If the dress don’t fit, it means you quit!”
So let’s size down your gown and get it tight for the wedding night – yeeeeahhh!

Home Cooking

Here’s a simple way to lose weight in the New Year – cook more meals at home. Take control of the foods that you eat. This is the first step toward reclaiming your body and boosting your metabolism.

Dinner doesn’t have to be elaborate. Include lean protein, fresh vegetables and a whole grain – that’s it!
